Project description:St. Jude Children's Research Hospital - Washington University Pediatric Cancer Genome Project(PCGP): Whole genome sequencing of infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Project description:As a part of the St Jude Children’s Research Hospital-Washington University Pediatric Cancer Genome Project (PCGP), we adapted deep sequencing technologies and have sequenced 1025 tumor samples from 21 diseases covering brain, solid tumors and leukemias. We analyzed the genomic DNA sequences, copy number variations and structural rearrangements of 633 genes whose proteins are involved in epigenetic machineries, including those that covalently modify DNA and histones, and structurally reorder chromatin. To examine gene expression level of mutated histone genes, we analyzed gene expression in a group of 40 non-ETP T-lineage ALL samples using Affymetrix GeneChip HT HG-U133+ PM arrays (including 37 samples deposited in GSE28703 and 3 additional arrays not studied previously). The results provide us the knowledge of potential therapeutic targets for pediatric cancer treatment and improvement of personalized therapy. Gene expression profiling was performed on 40 non ETP T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia samples. No control or reference samples were included.
